畫素結構以及有機發光元件的畫素結構Pixel structure and pixel structure of organic light-emitting elements

本發明是有關於一種畫素結構,且特別是有關於一種有機發光元件的畫素結構。The present invention relates to a pixel structure, and more particularly to a pixel structure of an organic light-emitting element.

有機發光元件是一種自發光性之發光元件。由於使用有機發光元件之顯示器具有無視角限制、低製造成本、高反應速度(約為液晶的百倍以上)、省電、可使用於可攜式機器、工作溫度範圍大以及重量輕且可隨硬體設備小型化及薄型化等等。因此,使用有機發光元件之顯器具有極大的發展潛力,可望成為下一世代的新穎平面顯示器。The organic light emitting element is a self-luminous light emitting element.

圖3為圖1之標號200的放大圖。根據以上所述,共用電晶體T是設置在第一畫素單元U與第二畫素單元U’的交界處,因此本發明之第一畫素單元U與第二畫素單元U’可以共同使用共用電晶體T。由於第一畫素單元U與第二畫素單元U’可以共同使用共用電晶體T,因此此種畫素結構的設計相較於無共用電晶體之設計的畫素結構來說可以節省約8.8%的面積。也就是,在既有的畫素結構的尺寸之下,可以另外空出8.8%的面積。所空出的面積可以另外設置其他構件或元件,也可以直接將畫素尺寸縮小,以利於應用在高解析度的顯示器上。FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of the reference numeral 200 of FIG. 1. According to the above, the common transistor T is disposed at the boundary of the first pixel unit U and the second pixel unit U', so that the first pixel unit U and the second pixel unit U' of the present invention can be common Use a common transistor T.

上述設置有電晶體之膜層在此又可稱為畫素結構層P。而在此畫素結構層P上方可另外設置發光元件O,如此即可構成有機發光元件之畫素結構。The film layer provided with the above transistor may be referred to herein as a pixel structure layer P. On the other hand, the light-emitting element O can be additionally disposed above the pixel structure layer P, so that the pixel structure of the organic light-emitting element can be constructed.

更詳細而言,絕緣層106覆蓋住絕緣層104,且絕緣層106上設置有第一電極層110。第一電極層110可與第五薄膜電晶體T5的汲極D5電性連接。根據本實施例,發光元件O的第一電極層110與第五薄膜電晶體T5的第五汲極D5之間是透過接觸窗V10而電性連接。In more detail, the insulating layer 106 covers the insulating layer 104, and the insulating layer 106 is provided with the first electrode layer 110. The first electrode layer 110 can be electrically connected to the drain D5 of the fifth thin film transistor T5. According to the embodiment, the first electrode layer 110 of the light-emitting element O and the fifth drain D5 of the fifth thin film transistor T5 are electrically connected through the contact window V10.

在第一電極層110上則設置有發光層112。發光層112可為有機發光層或無機發光層。根據發光層112所使用之材質,此有機發光元件可稱為有機有機發光元件或是無機有機發光元件。另外,每一畫素單元U或U’之發光元件O、O’的發光層112可為紅色有機發光圖案、綠色有機發光圖案、藍色有機發光圖案或是混合各頻譜的光產生的不同顏色(例如白、橘、紫、...等)發光圖案。A light emitting layer 112 is disposed on the first electrode layer 110. The light emitting layer 112 may be an organic light emitting layer or an inorganic light emitting layer. The organic light emitting element may be referred to as an organic organic light emitting element or an inorganic organic light emitting element depending on the material used for the light emitting layer 112. In addition, the light emitting layer 112 of the light emitting elements O, O' of each pixel unit U or U' may be a red organic light emitting pattern, a green organic light emitting pattern, a blue organic light emitting pattern, or a different color produced by mixing light of each spectrum.

上述之有機發光元件的畫素結構的參考訊號線RL的一部分是與掃描線同一膜層,且另一部分是與資料線同一膜層。然,本發明不限於此。根據其他實施例,參考訊號線RL亦可以設置在其他膜層,如下所述。A part of the reference signal line RL of the pixel structure of the above organic light-emitting element is the same film layer as the scanning line, and the other part is the same film layer as the data line. However, the invention is not limited thereto. According to other embodiments, the reference signal line RL may also be disposed on other film layers, as described below.

圖5是根據本發明另一實施例之畫素結構的上視示意圖。圖6是圖5中沿著剖面線A-A’以及剖面線B-B’的剖面示意圖。請參照圖5以及圖6,圖5與圖6之實施例與上述圖1及圖4之實施例相似,因此相同的元件以相同的符號表示,且不再重複贅述。圖5與圖6之實施例與上述圖1及圖4之實施例不同之處在於參考訊號線RL是與發光元件O的第一電極層110屬於同一膜層。根據此實施例,參考訊號線RL與共用電晶體T的汲極D是透過接觸窗V1而電性連接。Figure 5 is a top plan view of a pixel structure in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 6 is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along line A-A' and hatching B-B' in Fig. 5. Referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 , the embodiment of FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 is similar to the embodiment of FIG. 1 and FIG. 4 , and therefore the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will not be repeated. The embodiment of FIGS. 5 and 6 differs from the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 4 described above in that the reference signal line RL is in the same film layer as the first electrode layer 110 of the light-emitting element O. According to this embodiment, the reference signal line RL and the drain D of the common transistor T are electrically connected through the contact window V1.

由於此實施例是將參考訊號線RL設置在與發光元件O的第一電極層110同一膜層,因此參考訊號線RL可以與第一掃描線SL1重疊設置。換言之,參考訊號線RL可設置在第一掃描線SL1的正上方。如此,便可進一步節省畫素結構中之構件或元件所需佔用的空間。Since the reference signal line RL is disposed on the same film layer as the first electrode layer 110 of the light-emitting element O in this embodiment, the reference signal line RL can be disposed to overlap the first scan line SL1. In other words, the reference signal line RL can be disposed directly above the first scan line SL1. In this way, the space required for components or components in the pixel structure can be further saved.

綜上所述,由於本發明之畫素結構之第一畫素單元以及第二畫素單元共同使用所述共用電晶體,因此可以節省畫素結構之第一畫素單元以及第二畫素單元中各自的薄膜電晶體所需佔用的面積。如此一來,便可縮小畫素結構的面積,以利應用於高解析度產品上。即使不對畫素結構作縮小化,也可在所省下的畫素結構的空間中設置其他元件或構件。In summary, since the first pixel unit and the second pixel unit of the pixel structure of the present invention use the common transistor together, the first pixel unit and the second pixel unit of the pixel structure can be saved. The area required for each of the thin film transistors. In this way, the area of the pixel structure can be reduced to be applied to high-resolution products. Even if the pixel structure is not reduced, other components or components can be placed in the space of the saved pixel structure.

此外,本發明可進一步將參考訊號線設置在與發光元件的第一電極層同一膜層。因此,參考訊號線可設置在第一掃描線的正上方。如此,便可進一步節省畫素結構中之構件或元件所需佔用的空間。Furthermore, the present invention can further provide the reference signal line on the same film layer as the first electrode layer of the light-emitting element. Therefore, the reference signal line can be disposed directly above the first scan line. In this way, the space required for components or components in the pixel structure can be further saved.
